Bach's Feet: The Organ Pedals in European Culture - Musical Performance and Reception
Yearsley, David (Cornell University, New York)
From 1500, the independent use of the feet in musical performance at the organ was unique to Germany and vital to its cultural standing in Europe. Yearsley presents an account of this mode of music-making spanning some 500 years, including reappraising J. S. Bach's crucial role in that history.
